There was discussion awhile back as to when the Yenko "shield" logo was created... the back of this photo reads "Daytona 67". Note the Yenko logo on the side of the car.

This photo was most likely taken during the Daytona ARRC runoffs which occured November 22-26, 1967. The ARRC events at Daytona ran in the opposite direction of Nascar and Daytona 24hr events and this car is pointed "backwards" on pit lane. Also, Walt Tormohlen is listed as competing at the Daytona ARRC event in '67 in the D/Sports racer class, which this car is. Anyway, I don't believe the Yenko shield appeared early enough to be used on a '67 model year car and this race car doesn't change my thoughts on that.

So ironic you brought this old thread back up, as I was JUST going through these photos and artifacts in preparation for SCR10, and wishing I knew more about some of the race photos and stuff such as this pic. Great info on that photo... sounds reasonable enough to me! Thanks! I've said it before, but I'll say it again... this historical stuff and learning more about it is my favorite reason for visiting this site.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif I'd likely have looked at that pic for another 10 years and still never even be able to totally decipher the signature on it, let alone all the history you just provided. again, thanks!

By the way, I also agree on the use (or lack of use) of the Yenko "shield" logo on 67 Yenko supercars... I believe the round Stinger "bee" logo was the only Yenko graphic found on the window stickers for 67. The cast emblems came out for use on the 68's.
